Defeat the system! Kiss my little monster!
Chapter 268 Pretending to Cover Up
Yu Zhuo didn't rush to answer. He leaned against the door and pointed to the wall above as if giving a hint: "Team Leader Yu is up there. What do you think I want to do?"
The cleaner's face darkened slightly: "Are you threatening me?"
“I’m just reminding you to be careful.” Yu Zhuo stepped forward and said, “I didn’t expose you on the seventh floor, and I certainly won’t now. You don’t need to be so nervous.”
"Is it Xiao Luan?"
The cleaner froze, his eyes darting around as he suppressed the tremor in his heart: "How did you know?"
He was of low rank, but his ability to disguise himself was superb. Over the years, he impersonated people of various statuses and positions, and gave himself countless aliases.
Even the guards couldn't get any information about him, yet Yu Zhuo found out his real name so quickly.
Yu Zhuo chuckled. He had a system cheat code, and he had already thoroughly checked Xiao Lu's body while in the bathroom... and finding out a name was even simpler.
Yu Zhuo pretended to be mysterious and said, "I know more than that. I have already checked your name, where you live, and who your friends are... I know all of that clearly."
"You..." Xiao Lu'an's grip on the clothes rack remained firm, and it took him several minutes to barely suppress his anger.
"What exactly do you want? I'm just a worthless life anyway, don't expect me to work for you."
“How could you think that? I’m a law-abiding citizen. I never said I wanted you to do something that could cost you your life.” Yu Zhuo closed the door and whispered to Xiao Lu’an.
"I just want you to help me steal something. You can steal a whole chest of jewels from Prince Rayleigh's house, so you must be very skilled."
"Steal what?" Xiao Lu'an frowned. He glanced at Yu Zhuo and said coldly, "I won't steal the Earl's things. Forget about it."
Yu Zhuo: "..."
"When did I say you were going to steal his things?" Yu Zhuo was completely baffled. He recalled what had happened before, and his expression changed slightly. "You deliberately stuffed the gemstone into my pocket to frame me. Could it be because of Zhou Yanshu?"
Xiao Lu'an's expression stiffened: "No."
So guilty, it seems like it really is true.
Yu Zhuo took in the boy's subtle expressions. His face changed, and he asked hesitantly, "What do you mean? You like him?"
Xiao Luan's face was grim. He remained silent for a moment before stiffly saying, "He is an Omega and I am an Omega too. I just respect him."
Yu Zhu scoffed: "You can only respect him. He's my Omega now, so please don't covet another man's husband."
Xiao Lu'an: "..."
"I have Yu Chengyang's contact information, you understand?"
Yu Zhuo's threat was crystal clear, and Xiao Lu'an closed his eyes and said, "...I understand."
"That's fine."
Yu Zhuo didn't take this kid in his forties seriously. He stopped wasting words and got to the point, saying, "A carp skull was auctioned off two days ago at an underground auction. We don't know who the buyer is. Go and find out, and let me know."
Xiao Lu'an: "...A carp skull? You want me to steal this?"
“If you can steal it yourself, that would be best. If you can't, tell me, and I'll help you.” Yu Zhuo leaned against the wall and turned to ask, “You're not scared, are you?”
"I'm afraid? Ha, what's there to be afraid of about a skull?" Xiao Luan sneered. "Don't underestimate me. There's nothing I can't steal yet."
Yu Zhuo: "What do you say about gemstones nowadays?"
"Then I stole it too! If you hadn't interfered, I would have taken the gems by now!" Xiao Luan's face darkened further. "Do you think the defenses of what you're talking about are any better than those of Prince Ruili's residence?"
Although he was of low rank, he had learned far more than ordinary people since childhood, and coupled with his slender figure, he could always steal things without anyone noticing.
Xiao Luan was very experienced in theft.
“Alright, since you’re so confident, I’ll believe you for now,” Yu Zhuo said. “After this is done, I will destroy all information about you, and I will let you go this time.”
Xiao Lu'an hesitated for a moment: "...Really?"
"Why would I lie to you? You're on the first floor now. Change your clothes and go out the back door in a bit, they won't be able to catch you," Yu Zhuo advised. "But I'm not without a time limit. I'll only give you one month."
"A month is enough. I'll come find you myself once I get the goods."
"Okay, I'll wait." Yu Zhuo nodded, then stared at Xiao Lu'an and reached out, "Now can you give me back my phone?"
Xiao Lu'an glanced at Yu Zhuo's palm: "What phone?"
"My phone, you didn't know?" Yu Zhu frowned. "You stuffed the gems into my pocket and took my phone."
Xiao Lu'an sneered, "Are you kidding me? Why would I steal your phone?"
He initially just disliked Yu Zhuo and wanted to use the gemstone to send him to prison, while also humiliating Tamo. After all, Yu Zhuo was the Alpha that Tamo had assigned to Zhou Yanshu, and Yu Zhuo's imprisonment would also have an impact on Tamo.
Tamo has been a muddle-headed merman king for many years, and Yu Zhuo is just a useless dog under his command.
When the late king awoke, Tamo should have returned the throne, but unexpectedly he staged another wedding and used Yu Zhuo to assault Zhou Yanshu.
Zhou Yanshu is the king of the mermaids. Whether it was a hundred years ago or a hundred years later, he is their hope.
But excessive refinement is their obstacle.
Xiao Lu'an gave the gemstone to Yu Zhuo mainly because he didn't want Zhou Yanshu to be humiliated by Yu Zhuo again.
As for the phone... why would he steal it?
"You didn't steal my phone?" Yu Zhuo was slightly taken aback. Certain images flashed through his mind, and he cursed under his breath.
The person who stole his phone and the person who put the jewel in his pocket were not the same person.
That doctor... Li Su...
Yu Zhuo turned around and walked outside. He opened the door to the dressing room and was caught off guard to see Zhou Yanshu waiting outside.
Zhou Yanshu seemed to have just arrived. He put down his hand that was holding the wheelchair and shifted his gaze from the door of the changing room to Yu Zhuo.
Yu Zhuo stopped abruptly, squatted down, and pressed down on one of the handles of Zhou Yanshu's wheelchair: "The time hasn't come yet, why did you suddenly come here?"
“You dropped something, and someone asked me to return it to you.” Zhou Yanshu had a cell phone on his lap. He held the phone and handed it to Yu Zhuo. “Here you go.”
The phone case was pure black, with some inconspicuous small scratches on the corners. It definitely looked like the phone that Yu Zhuo had lost before.
Yu Zhuo took it, but he didn't really look at the phone. He just tightened his grip on the small blanket covering Zhou Yanshu's legs, without any clear meaning.
"Who gave it to you?"
"The security guard at the gate." Zhou Yanshu had regained some feeling in his legs. Yu Zhuo gripped the fabric tightly, pinching the flesh on his legs until it ached slightly.
Zhou Yanshu calmly pulled out his suit trousers and asked, "What's wrong?"
"...It's nothing." Yu Zhuo said casually. "Where did he find it?"
“The restroom on the third floor,” Zhou Yanshu said. “Someone found it and took the phone down to hand it to the security guard.”
